(l overnor Chamberlain’s Speech.
LETTER FROM DR. LEONARD BACON.
’ b the Editor oftlw Tribune:
Sin; I have much respect for Gov. Chamg
bcrlain. I confess tny sympathy with hiin in
the trials through which he has passed, and
in the defeat of his clterished hopes. I know
that he went to South Carolina at the closeof
the war. with the honest and hearty intention
of making that state his home, and of iden-
tit‘yiug his work and success in life With the
then and iilClICt-iOl‘Wal‘d face state, in which
his citizenship was as authentic as that of any
other man. As a brother of his “went west"
and settled in Chicago, so he, by the same
right, and with the same integrity of purpose, >
"went South," and settled in Charleston. ‘It
is easy to call him a “carpet-bugger,” and as
mean as it is easy—one of the meanest tricks
of party malice. If he is a carpet-bugger, so
is his brother, the eminent pastor at Chica-
go, and so is every man who goes forth to
make his home at a distance from his birth
place. If he is a carpet-bugger because,
though born at Worcester, he chose to estab-
lish himself as a lawyer at Charleston, so is
. Ir. Evarts, who, though born in Boston,
chose to establish himself in New York; and
some three out of five of all the most eminent
men in every employment whose places of
business or of abode are within five miles of
the. Tribune building. If he is a. carpet-bag-
ger, then there is hardly a man in Califor-
nia, out of his minority, who is not a carpet-
baggcr. By the saute rule the Plymouth pil-
grims, in 1020, the Puritan founders of Salem
and Boston, and the Huguenot fathers of the
South Carolina chivalry were carpet-buggers,
one and all. Nor can I see why Abraham,
“the father of the faithful,” who began,almost
4000 years ago, the great western movement
which is now rapidly completing its circuit,
ought-not to be named, also, the father of the
carpet-buggers.
That Governor Chamberlain has been con-
spicuous in the political affairs of his adopted
state is not his fault. We all remember how
it happened that the former leaders of that
state, the old masters of South Carolina, took
no part in the reconstruction. The task of
rebuilding the state, after the ploughshare had
passed through its foundations, was thrown,
by unhappy necessity, into the hands of the
freedmeu (more numerous~there,-and prob-
ably less competent than in any other state);
and they must needs put their trust in the
men whom they recognized as the authors of
their freedom. In such a condition of affairs
it was impossible for a man with the ability
of Daniel H. Chamberlain not to become con-
spicuous. Equally impossible was it in him,
with his intelligence and his integrity, not to
become a reformer of the abuses which came
in with reconstruction, and an adversary of
the knavisli adventurers, white or black, na-
tive or from other states, Of Jewish or of Gen-
tile lineage, who were plundering the com
monwealtli. \Ve all remember how he gained
the confidence, as we thought, of the so-call-
ed conservatives, or white people, in that
state. We remember, too, (and cannot but
be indignant as we remember), how ungener-
ousl y they turned against ' , General
Hampton had made a visit in II ississidpi. He
had seen the operation of the “Mississippi
plan,” and was charmed with it. He came
back, and I will not say that he violated any
promises, formal or informal, but only that
the Mississippi plan was adopted by him and
his friends as better for South Carolina (or, at
least for them), than the political reformation
which Governor Chamberlain had so hope-'
fully begun, and which might have been
completed but for their turning against him;-
The “Mississippi plan,” with its atrocities (of
which the Hamburg slaughter is a specimen),
has made General Hampton governor. Vic-
torious first in Mississispi, then in Georgia, it
has conquered in South Carolina, and the
government which ought to have been sus-
tained by the great negro majority has been
superseded by what is called a “white man’s
government.” Mysympathy is with Govern-
or Chamberlain. He ought to be governor of
South Carolina; yet he is not. The negro
majority, after a twelve year’s apprenticeship
in personal and political freedom, and in the
use of arms, ouglit’ to have sustained him;
but it did not. For Governor Hampton and
the government behind him my respect is of
the slightest. IIc ought not to be governor
of South Carolina; yet he is.
Now, with all my regard for Governor
Chamberlain, and with all my lack of confi-
dence in the patriotism of Governor Hamp-
ton, as a citizen of the United States, I de-
sire to record my protest against that Wood-
stock speech. I hold that the President, in
dealing with the two states of South Caroli-
na and Louisiana, has done just what'it was
his duty to do. Whether he has done what
the republican party or its nominating con-
vention expected of him, I neither know nor
care to know. The only question with me is
whether he has acted in accordance with the
‘letter and meaning of the constitution.
There is no need of my replying in detail to
Governor Chamberlain’s elaborate and elo-
quent oration. Any man may dissent from it
without trying to answer it. Holding that
the constitution of the United States is a
document level to the intelligence of all in-
telligent citizens. I offer my own interpreta-
tion of the section on which the complaint
against the President is founded:
The United States shall guarantee to every
state in this Union a republican form of gov-
ernment, and shall protect each of them
against invasion, and, on application of the
legislature, or of the executive (when the leg-
islature cannot be convened), agaist domestic
violence—Article IV., section 5.
This section was intended to tell just what
power or duty of interference in the govern-
ment of a state, “in this Union," is among
the powers and duties of the United States—
that is, of the national government. What
is the extent of the duty—what the limit of
the powers?
1. To each state in the Union there is guar-
anteed by the United States a republican form
of government. Of course, the National
government is invested with the constitu-
tional power of performing that duty. The
phrase “republican form ' of government”
must be taken in the sense which those words'
had when the constitution was formed and
adopted. Therefore, the phrase does not
mean (what some people seem to think is
somehow included in it) government by or
for the republican party, which came into ex-
istence about twenty-five years ago. Nor
does it mean government by universal suf-
frage; for what we now mean by universal
suffrage did not exist in any of the states
which adopted the constitution and instituted
the national government. Nor does it mean
government. by honest votes‘ honestly count-
ed ; for it. would be preposterous to suppose
that any state in 1789 would or could have
entertairied the thought of surrendering the
custody of its own ballot boxes or the count-
ing of its votes to any power outside of itself.
Nor does the phrase mean even a democratic
distinction from an aristocratic government;
for the men who framed the constitution, like
all other intelligent people in those days,
knew that there had been' and was then aris-
tocratic republics as well as democratic- All
that the nation guarantees to each state in
this ' Union is “a republican form of.
goverment.” Nor is the wOrd “form” with;
out significance. It limits the duty of the
national government and its power of inter-
ference. Great Britain is to-day a republic,
governed almost absolutely by the house of
commons, while it has the form Of a monar-
chy. The great city of New York had a re-
publican fq'm of government, when Tweed
was 111 fact its monarch. So long as a state
In this Union retained its “republican form
of government”—though its administration
be ever so profilgate; though its governor be
a. murderer whoma a civilized state would
condemn to the gallows; though its judgts
be venal and brutal; though its legislators to
as ignorant as “field hands” from a sea island
plantation—though its elections be a sham,
and violence and fraud be the dominant influ-
ences in its politics—the national government
has no duty and no right of interference. But
if the form of government he changed front
republican to monarchical'—or ‘ if the
states he found iii a condition of'anarcliy—
as certain states were found a few vears ' ago
—that is a ease in which the Unifod States
must interfere. '
2. The United States must protect each
state “against invasion." Whether the inva-
sion be by the military and naval forces of
some foreign government, or (as on the Texan
frontier just now) by bands of plundercrs
from a. neighboring nation, "or by organized
bodies of men from another state, the lava-
sion of any state in this Union is an ac of
hostility against the United States; an the
national government is authorized to re-
pel it. No request. or formal information
.known, that instances of thatEsort are. infree,
from the authorities of the invaded state is
necessary. The .iuvasion of whatever state
is an outrage against the nation: and the na
tion, sensitive .in' every part, takes notice of
it and repels it. ’ '
3. The United States must protect each
state “against domestic violence.” But 1n
thisease certain conditions are prescribed,
without which there is no right or duty of In-
terference. ‘ The duty and the right of such
interference in the affairs of a state :1th only‘
“on application” from the authorities of .that
state, “application of the le islature" if It be
in session or can be conven , application “of.
the executive when the legislature , cannot be
convened.” Domestic vio ence in any state”
in this Union is a matter for the state itself}. ,
to deal with. The state itself,acting through
its constituted authorities, is to decide wheth-
er it-needs protection from abroad; and at »
its call, the government of the United States,
(or, as determined by; statute, the; president)
is constitutionally empowered and required
to ive the desired- _rotectio_n. "f g
f “domestic vio once" in a state is like the
old-time Shay’s rebellion in Massachusetts, or
like the whisky insurrection in Pennsylvania"
long ago—if it is merely a riotous uprising:
against established order—the duty of the na-
tion to protect that state is so clear, andsthe-
certainty of‘ prompt and- efficient protection
by the whole power of the nation is so well
quent in our history. Every state, in. the, or-.
dinary course of events, is perfectly-able to
keep peace within its own borders Without
help kom abroad, and the more able because
of the outside help which will certainly come
if called for. . ‘
But a state may need to be protected
against “domestic violence” of another sort.
Some of us are old enough to remember the,
“Dorr rebellion," which was when the great
men of the present generation were. boys, or
perhaps were not yet born; - There were two.
governors in that brave little state, two legis-
latures, two constitutions; everything politi-
cnl was double. One military organization
was in arms against another. In short, there
was a beginning of a civil war; and onesrde
or the other, or perhaps both, called upon
the president to protect that state against do-
mestic violence. Governor Do‘rr insisted that
he was governor de jure, the only lawful and
rightful chief magistrate of Rhode Island,
and on the principles then professed and held
by the democratic party, he was right. On,
the other hand, the other governor
insisted that the jut—the, law—the right—
was on'his side, and the state to be protected
against domestic violence was the state. as
governed by him. At this present writing
or correct my memory, bu ‘ ne thing I am'
sure of. The fatal defect overnor Dorr's
case was that, whatevq he might be de jure,
he was not dofacto governor of Rhode Island;
and the conclusion of the whole matter was
that for no other fault than his attempt to
maintain by force of arms his retension to
be governor, he was condemne to the pear-
tentiary. As in its relations with foreign
ought to be but only who is emperor, king, sul-
tan Or president—so in its relaions with states
in this Union, it does never inquire (and must-
never be trusted to inquire) whois governor, de.
fine, but who is governor de facto.
The problem which President Hayes had '.
to deal with in Louisiana and South Carolina
was not identical in all respects with that
cases the main fact was the fact Of a dual.
government. In Louisiana, the Question be-
tween Packard and Nieholls; in South Car-
olina the question between Chamberlain and
Hampton was which 1's really governor; in
other wards, which of the two IS in posges-
sion, performing the functions of govern-
ment ? In neither case was the questions dif
ficult one. Governor Packard, shut up in a
state house at New Orleans—Gave or Cham-
berlain, similarly beseiged in the 9 ate house
at Columbia—calls to the president (virtually)
“I am governor do jure ,' send me troops
andI will be governor de facto." On the.
other hand, Governor Nicholls at New Or-t
leans,.and Governor Hampton at Columbia,
say to the president, each for himself, “I am
governordefaoto‘as well as dejure ; I ask for
no military aid from the United States; if
which garrisons the state house ' can be with.
drawn, there will be no more doubtas to the
actual government, and the statewill beper-
violence.” The president, after caréful in-
quiry and deliberation, concludes that, as a
matter of fact, the pretension of Governor
Packard to be governor of Louisiana cannot
be maintained in any other way than by a
constant employment of the militar power
of the United States ; .and that overnor
Nichols (whatever may havebeeuthc irregu-
larit of- his election, andh whatever fraud
or Violence he may have gavned the position)
is actually g0ver'ning the state with no protec-
tion from any external power. The same
sort of inquiry and deliberation concerning
South Carolina brought him to the conclusion ’
that whether Governor Chamberlain ought or
ought not to be governor Of the state (a ques-
tion over which he, as president, had no juris-
diction), the state was actually governed by,
the other man. In the words quoted b Gov-
ernor Chamberlain from Chief Justice aney,
it was the president’s duty to “determine”——,
of course not without inquiry and delibera-
tion—“what body of men constitutes the legis-
lature, and who is the governor ?" Just this is
what he has done.
Is the president of the United States to be
a supreme returning board for all elections of
state governors? I say No I Who says Yes .I‘

CEsxoLA’s DISCOVERY or THE SITE or ”'AN
ANCIENT TEMPLE—Long before the tradition-
al period of the Trojan war, Cyprus had cit-
ies and commerce. The Phoenician colony
became Egyptian for a while after fifteenth
century B. C. Kurium had probably been
founded before the Egyptian‘conquest in 1442
B. 0.; hence the aceummulation of the art
of many centuries ,in the treasuries of her‘
temples.
General Cesnola found 'at Kurium only vast
heaps of ruin. The city was built on a bluff
three hundred feet in perpendicular height
on three sides. The rock of the bluff was
soft calcarous stone, and around the city, in
the'sides of the bluff, he found a terrace a
hundred feet wide, cut: and. hollowed deep in
the rock, in the sides of which were tombs.
Among the ruins on the hill he identified the
site of a temple, and here saw that explorers
before him had made excavations, and aban-
doned them. He was induced to go deeper
than they had, under the Mosaic floor of the
temple. At the depth of twenty feet he
struck a dark passageway, which he pene-
trated till stopped by a low stone door.
Bursting this, he found himself at the en-
trance of a series of vaulted rooms full
of fine earth which had sifted- through the
rock walls.
The explorer did not know where he was,
but he Was standing at the doorway which
leads the student of art into the hitherto un-
known fields Of investigation among the early
Greeks and their Phcenician and Egyptian
predecessors. The general soon perceived
that the room which he was to enter was not
atomb. Commencing to remove the earth
in the slow and careful manner which the
experienced excavator always practices, he
began to find beautiful objects in gold lying
in heaps on the floor of the vault. Then
came the evidence that he had opened the
treasure chambers of the temple. Twenty-
five hundred years ago the priests in the tem-
ple Were suddenly alarmed by the rush of a
besieging army over or through the lofty
walls of Kurium. Igthe wild haste of the'
unexpected attack, they swept from altars
votive offerings of generations of worshipers,
hastened down the.dark passage, and threw
closed the stone door, and doubtless also
The enemy came in,'and hewed :down the
priests before the altars,or carried themaway
captive to' Asia. None was left who knew
the secret of the vault. The temple 'was des;
ecrated, robbed, destroyed, its walls and col:
umns hurled down in hideous ruin, and for
twenty-five centuries the gold of the old
Phoenician and Egyptian and Greek worship-
ers lay dark and unknown in the vaulted
chamber. From the gold chamber a low
doorway, two feet seven inches high, opened
into the next vault, which was the silver
room. Black, corrodod, unsightly as it is,
this treasure_was not less important than the
gold. For ancient silver objects are very
rare, especially cups and vases. There were
piles of these corroded into masses. But a
considerable number were perfect, and are
of the greatest archaeological importance.
From this room opened another low door into
a third vault, in which were found objects'in
alabaster, terra cotta, etc., and beyond this
vault and at right angles with it, was a fourth
room, which contained objects in bronze,
many of which were in very fair preserva-
tion. From this room a. narrow passageway
descended in the rock, which the general ex-
plored for 130 feet, and then abandoned, be-
cause of the foul air and the difficulty of pro-
ceeding—William C. Prime, in Harper’s

I MACHINISTS
'Ilie Violet Ray.
‘Twas said 0000. by some old and learned
sage,
Thatnaught that’s new could Iivrht‘the' com-
ing age: a
That evay modern scientific thought
From out some ancient fountain would be
brought ; .
And yet metliinks that this egregious ass
Must own our fathers had ne‘er tried blue
glass,
And knew not then the ray that now appears
To cure our ills’and lengthen out our years,
To puzzle doctors who, with visage sad,
Mourn patients lost, whom absent bills make
glad. ’
The chemist now may close his bankrupt door,
Throw physie to the dogs, and books of lore;
For aches, that remedies have souglitin vain,
Can find relief in this ncw-fanglcd pane.
But shall we only use a single ray,
To which the other must at once give way,
And all to this contract our varied powers,
While still, the boundless arc of ‘IlC‘flVC‘n is
ours ?
Thrice no, say we; let the prismatic hues
Have each a chance, and give to each its
dues.
Pegcliancc the yellow may to us afford
Some mode of changing greenbacks into gold,
This done, ‘twill be no hardship we presume
'For our uncertain Congress to resume,
Pay off our debts, call in our bonds, and then
Fill all the offices with honest men.
Indeed, the range this new idea will take
Our faith in every other truth may shake;
And colors men now use to cure and light
’em
May banish every ill ad lnfinz‘lum.

Tanning a. Canary Bird.
When I first put him into his new cage, he
was as Wild a bird as I ever saw. Of beauti-
ful plumage, graceful form, and sly yet win-
some ways, his natural song, blended with
the notes of a nightingale, his first instructor,
charmed all who chanced to hear it. I must
confess, however, to some misgivings in my
first endeavors to gain the affections of this
bird. For several days he confronted my
approaches by the most willful conduct, and
every repeated attempt to gain his good will
was rebutted. I have seen birds that one
could tame by simply talking to them in a
natural, suddued voice. But Tim was not
one of this sort, and something more potent
than “silvery tongue” was needed to impress
him with a sense of the sitiiation. Matters
had thus continued for about a week or ten
days, when I found myself obliged to resort
to more severe measures. In the early mom-
ing his cage was cleaned, and fresh water put
in, but no food was allowed. You would
have smiled to see him peeping coyly down
into his seed-cup, and yet disdainfully, on
discovering nothing there. 'His apparent
comprehension of “hard times” gave him the
half-haughty and half-saddened look that
most men wear under like circumstances. A
two hours’ survey gave him a pretty clear
notion of the situation; he seemed now to
take it all in at: a glance, and whether con-
vinccd or not that this was his first lesson, he I
appeared to be at least a fit subject for fur-
ther experiment. So, without saying a word
I opened‘thc cage-door, and, with a few seeds
in my hand, I thrust the latter gently into
the cage. But not yet had he reached the
verge of starvation; the seeds looking tempt-
ing, to be sure, but not. sufficiently soto lower
his dignity. Hence a patient waiting of two
hours more. Again the hand was thrust into
the cage, a few seeds were snatched up with
lightning speed, and after this I was given to
understand that Tim is hungry but never
stoops! I counted it a most encouraging
sign, however, that the bird should deign to
pick up the seeds at the end of a four hours’
training. At the close of the sixth hour,
Tim was as calm as an April sunset; he was.
indeed, most tractable, and no sooner had I
again put my hand containing the seeds into
the cage than he perched upon my thumb as
cheerily as though it had been his perch, and
began to devour the proffered, food.
I allowed him to satisfy his hunger for
about one minute ; then I drew my hand
with the bird out of the cage, and retreated
to a chair. BefOrc I had seated myself, how-
ever, he had deserted me, and had perched
above the window. “You may stay there
all day, if you like, my fine fellow, but you’ll
find it apoor pasture for hungry birds.” I
held the seed-cup in my hand, and on the
floor beside me lay a small vial of oil of an-
ise. “When you get ready, you may come
and get your seed, Tim,” said I; and then 1
went on with my whistling. For ahalf-liour
or" more the bird had the freedom of the room
and half in despair and half eager to improve
the time, I sat down ' at my writing desk,
placed the seed-cup and oil-bottle in front of
me, and went On with my work. I had well-
nigh, while absorbed in other thoughts, for-
gotten Tim, when, On a sudden, I felt aslight
rustling on my shoulder, and a moment later
he was on the table in front of me. He was
allowed to gather up a few more seeds; then
I seized him gently, opened the vial, rubbed
a very small quantity of the anise upon his
nostrils, and then replaced him on the table.
It must have been an hour before the intoxi-
cation or stupor (which for the benefit of
gentle readers, let me say is perfectly harm-
less) passed off; then the bird began to eat
again, and, finally, on a little persuasion, hop-
ped upon my finger, then on another, And so
on back and forth until I put him back into
his cage. Hardly was he returned when be
poured forth his strains of sweetest melody.
On the next day, after cleaning the cage, I
placed it on my table, leaving the door open
and the seed-cup outside. It required no
persuasion whatever to induce the bird to
come out, and now every sign of terror had
left him. While he ate, I gently stroked his
, feathers, talked to him, whistled to him,
fondled him—it was all I cared to do. Tim
was conquered at last. He had learned his
lesson, namely, that to know the master he
must become friendly to him, and, before re-
ceiving food, he must respect the giver. From
that day to this, the bird has been one of the
family. Whereas formerly I had to contend
in order to get him out of his cage, now I
have to contend to get him into it. A part
of the day he spends with me, singing while
I write and work, now pulling the heads off
my pen-wiper, and dropping them into the
ink-stand; now removing the pins from the
coil, and carrying them to the top of the
bookcase; now getting into an open drawer,
and playing mischief among my papers. Ev“,
while I write these words of his little story,
he and a bullfinch are contending in front of
mefor the possession of my blotter,and I will
not say them “nay” to their little antics——
